| I hope they take any money he made for cancer and strip research that he funded. I don't care if out $500 mil only 20million went to research. He is rich cause of lies. If a single 1 went towards curing someone give it back. God wants you to die anyway Reply • Back to Top |

| As others are saying, it's not so much his doping (everyone at the front of the peloton certainly did, so it was an even playing field), and it wasn't the decade+ of denials. It was his concerted efforts to destroy anyone who told the truth: Betsy and Frankie Andreu, Emma O'Reilly (Postal Service team masseuse), Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton, multiple reporters, etc. And when Greg LeMond gave his expert opinion (having recovered from a devasting injury that kept him away from cycling for two years) that it was impossible for Lance to have gone from deathbed to TdF champ in 2.5 years, he was destroyed too. I believe Lance turned Trek against LeMond. At the time, Trek manufactured LeMond bikes, but I think they broke the contract and dropped him. I saw Lance take shots on Twitter at Juliet Macur, a pretty dispassionate reporter for the NYT, simply for reporting the news—she never took shots at him, but she was clearly not a "friend of Lance," so he took shots at her. Last year I took a screen shot of his Twitter because he was being his true self for a moment, and I knew he would delete this tweet pretty quickly. Lance is just a nasty, nasty dude who owes a lot of people apologies with a sincerity that you know he won't be able to muster. I'm surprised he's gonna admit doping because it seems like he would still be vulnerable to prosecution for taking public money (US Postal Service) for fradulent purposes, and I think there were also conspiracy charges.

But hey it's what we do, we have too much spare time on our hands now, what else are we going to do, spend it with our family's or help the community? I think not. Reply • Back to Top |

| No care in the world. He could have avoided all of this by not acting like a 5-year-old and denying every chance he got. Once a cheater, always a cheater Reply • Back to Top |
| Hopefully he details how corrupt the UCI is Reply • Back to Top |
| About time he comes clean about being dirty. Reply • Back to Top |
| I don't overly care that he doped - that was how it was done in that sport - but the thing that will be hard for some to come to grips with is this: Armstrong is a fundamentally bad person. Reply • Back to Top |
| And I am sure Oprah will give home the deep, sad, 'poor Lance' framed questions to help him out Reply • Back to Top |

quote: This. Plus the fact that he intimidated witnesses when they were giving testimony to the federal grand jury. I have no sympathy for this jerk not because of the doping but the actions he engaged in to cover it up. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
